After the break, Amity regrouped and came on strong scoring 13 points to Hand’s 1 in the third. The Graham sisters and Brinton did all the scoring giving Amity the lead. End of third-quarter score 34-25. Joel scored the single point for Hand.

Refusing to be outdone, the Tigers fought hard in the final quarter. Corinne Ouellete (21) scored 3 three-point field goals for Hand and her teammate Lauren Brandau (10) scored 2 points. Amity’s Ronan scored 2 points; Schmitt made a foul shot and Brinton’s two free throws were the icing on the cake, securing the Spartan win 39-36.

Coach Michelle Martinik was proud of her team on their 8th victory. She said, “We had to fight this whole game. We knew Hand was a great team, they’re well coached, they have a lot of tough girls. We knew it was going to be a battle.”

“We had a couple of things going against us, we missed a lot of open shots in the first half. So, this was a real fight it out win which is good to have so when we get out there later in the season – we’ve had some of these games,” she said. “At the end of this game we executed well. We had stops when we needed it and the delay – we ran of 3-4 minutes off the clock – was key, because they were on a roll. It was really great.”

Records: Amity 8-1; Hand 5-4

Hand 9 15 1 11 – 36

Amity 15 6 13 5 – 39
